Also, forgive me if this is a rude question but, do you have an idea of when the next release will be?

Thanks.

No, not really, it sounds like a planet-sized spaceship. The only English term that I know of for craft like that is "interplanetary spacecraft", no short words like with starship. I can't think of a good name for that class.

Maybe we should invent a new system for classifying ships. Instead of combining range and function into one name, we could have two names like with planet classes. The first name would be the range of the ship (orbital, interplanetary, interstellar), and the second name would be the function of the ship (transport, shuttle, probe). Some classes, like space stations, would not have a range class.

For examples:

Cassini would be "Interplanetary probe" Space Shuttle would be "Orbital shuttle" SE motherships could be "Interstellar mothership"

I agree with this. For range, you'd have sub-orbital, orbital, interplanetary, interstellar, and intergalactic, and for function, there would be probes, transports, cargo-vessels, motherships, etc.

It can's be called STATION, because it have ENGINES and HYPERDRIVE. Emperor was wrong. Death Star as a STATION have no purpose, because it can hold in awe only few planets in a system where it was built. But this is an offtop here.

Nice. One minor correction/suggestion: 1st column should better be called ''star system'' or simply ''system''. Because it may be a multiple system. 6th column (counting from the left - i.e 3rd from the right) could be named ''stars'' or ''suns'' as it is now - no big deal
